Importing an external matrix into a network model
                                        You can import a matrix, which is available as a file, into the Visum network model. In this case, only those matrix values are imported whose OD pairs exist in the network.
1. From the Edit menu, choose Matrices > Add external matrix to the network model.
The Add external matrix to network model window opens.
2. Make the desired changes.

3. Confirm with OK.
If the matrix file contains OD pairs that do not exist in the network, a corresponding message is displayed.
4. Confirm with OK if necessary.
The matrix data is read into a new Visum matrix. OD pairs that do not exist in the imported matrix file are assigned the value 0. The matrix is opened.
